385cc or 415cc, high profile, Under the muscle, allergen. I currently wear a 34B bra. Measurments are: 36, 27, 41 inches. 36" is what I measured on my nipple. I'm 5'.4", 140 lb. Im wondering between 385cc and 415cc. I want a natural look but big enough. After all I'm having an augmentation and I don't want them to look small. Please let me know what you think is better for me.
Answer: Implant size and type Dear sky.v,breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.Daniel Barrett, MD Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

Answer: Breast augmentation, 385-415cc Hello and thank you for your question. You are a great candidate for a breast augmentation. The size, profile, and shape of the implant is based on your desired breast size/shape, your chest wall measurements, and soft tissue quality. This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon. This entire surgery can be performed with a small incision technique. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. FACS Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: 385cc or 415cc under the muscle, high profile? The best way to determine what size implant to choose is to try the different sized implants with a sports bra and tight t-shirt during a sizing session and see which look right for your frame. Your surgeon should also help guide you with this choice. When conflicted between two almost identical sizes, I'd typically suggest choosing the larger one then you won't ever wish you went larger. In reality the difference is 30mL, which is 2 tablespoons of silicone, so not much of a difference. Hope that helps!

Answer: Breast Implant Sizing Hi and thanks for your question. By your photos, you are a great candidate for a breast augmentation. An extensive sizing routine, along with 3D imaging should be done to help you determine which size is a best fit for you and your needs. I think if you are going to that natural look around a 385 should be a good fit for you. Best of luck on your upcoming procedure.
